Help with some scary stuff.

[Reff X]

Title says it, I need help with some spooky stuff that can scare a player. Anyways, I'm making a horror map for HL2:EP2 and I need help with figuring out how to:
1. Make the players screen shake.
2. Make npcs (stalker perhaps) appear lets say, in a hallway and then dissappear shortly after.
3. Make shadows run across the room like in f.e.a.r and dissappear into a wall or behind some corner of a wall.
4. Make objects like prop_physics shake or get thrown into the air like theres an earthquake (but really its a raged ghost =3)
5. Anybody got some good scary sounds?

And I'm making the functions in the map first, so i really dont have anything to show yet, details and stuffs come later.

Check this old thread: [url]http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=781025[/url]
Has some really good examples and tips on how to make things.

[dummy66]

OK, how about making a florescent light on the ceiling, break on the one end, so it falls down and hangs by a rope or w.e at the end, but only on a trigger event?

Tutorials, please?

[Kinuhudai]

if you want to make screen shake - create entity called env_shake (or something like that)

[Jakobi]

For the shadows, use a dynamic light, then have an npc that is translucent run past it.
